โฆ Synopsis
We show that residually finite or word hyperbolic groups which can be decomposed as a finite union of double cosets of a cyclic subgroup are necessarily virtually cyclic, and we apply this result to the study of Frobenius permutation groups. We show that in general, finite double coset decompositions of a group can be interpreted as an obstruction to splitting a group as a free product with amalgamation or an HNN extension.

We discuss the use of orbit-stabilizer and orbit reduction techniques for computing representatives of double cosets in finite soluble groups given by a polycyclic presentation.
